I hadn't listened to the full-length album The Skills Dat Pay Da Bills in years. I just had it on this evening, and it looks like there should be a designation of 45 version or LP version for each of the CDs listed in the database. I forgot that the LP version contains spoken dialogue at the beginning. All other copies I have ever heard omit the spoken dialogue at the beginning. The line I am referring to says, "Man, I can't f---ing believe this. How can the same s--t happened to the same guy twice?"
This line is taken from the movie Die Hard 2, and in the context of the song, it is a reference to Positive K's earlier single called "I'm Not Havin' It." This early Positive K track, released in the 1989, features MC Lyte. The chorus is basically a back-and-forth between Positive K and MC Lyte, where he says, "Excuse me miss," and she says, "I'm not havin' it." Both of those lines are also referenced in the song "I Got A Man" at the end, just before the fade out.

Here are the details of both promo CDs I own for "I Got A Man."
PRCD 6736-2
1. Vocal (3:58 listed; 3:50 actual)
2. Instrumental (3:59 listed; 3:57 actual)
PRCD 6764-2
1. Hip Hop Mix (4:15 listed; 4:11 actual)
2. New Radio Remix (4:27 listed; 3:48 actual)
3. Original Version (3:50 listed; 3:48 actual)
One more side note about this song, there is no credited female rapper, because...there is no female rapper on the song! What sounds like a female is actually Positive K's vocals run through a pitch shifter to make him sound like a lady.
